RIYADH: The Royal Commission for Riyadh City has announced the opening of Singapore-based Global Schools Foundation’s One World International School in Riyadh.
This comes as part of RCRC International Schools Attraction Program that aims to bring international schools to the Saudi capital in partnership with the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Education, said a statement.
“Attracting prestigious global institutions such as the OWIS is a big part of how Riyadh is creating a world-class education ecosystem,” Mazen Tammar, head of education sector at the RCRC, said.
“The international institutions brought here by the RCRC will not only enhance the education sector but also contribute to the transformation of the capital into one of the world's most competitive and liveable cities by 2030,” he added.
Founded in 2002, Singapore-based GSF has several international brands including OWIS, Dwight School — Korea and GIIS.
It currently operates 26 campuses in eight countries with over 25,000 students.
